Car crash kills homeowner - Teen in stolen auto was fleeing police
[Dorchester, MA]

(DORCHESTER, Mass.) -- Moments after eluding a police cruiser, a stolen car with a teenager at the wheel hit a parked minivan, spinning it into the side of a Dorchester house, killing the home's 57-year-old owner yesterday, police and witnesses said.
"It sounded like an explosion. It shook the whole damned house," said Anthony Woodson, who was helping with repairs inside the house at 139 Norwell St.
Wilbur Campbell was found crushed inside the remains of a shed beside the boarded-up home.
Four juveniles tried to flee the wrecked green Honda, which also struck two trees, but were quickly apprehended by Boston police.
Police spokeswoman Mariellen Burns said the 16-year-old driver would be charged with manslaughter and receiving stolen property. He is scheduled to be arraigned in Dorchester District Court juvenile session today.
Woodson said, "We came out of the house and saw the car and the van, then checked to see if he was inside the shed - turned out he was. It's a damned shame. Police were there not too long after."
Some witnesses said they heard cars and sirens roar through the nearby intersection of Harvard and Norwell streets moments before hearing the impact of the 2 p.m. crash, but police said there was no evidence of sirens on the tape of conversations between the first officer on the scene and dispatchers.
According to Burns, a police officer on traffic duty tried to pull the stolen car over on Norwell Street for a motor vehicle violation when it took off.
She said the stolen car first hit a car on Norwell Street. "They hit a civilian car with a woman. The officer pulled alongside to make sure she was OK. The suspect car continued to flee the scene."
Burns said the officer called for help and then arrived on the fatal accident scene after the crash.
"We have spoken with the individuals in the car. Their statements support our understanding there was no chase," said Burns.
The three teen passengers told police they pleaded with the driver to slow down, Burns said.
The Honda, reported stolen in Roxbury Saturday, slipped between a utility pole and a house before losing control in the snow-covered lot next to Campbell's house. The car struck two trees and the van, driving the van through the shed with such force it knocked a hole in the home's concrete foundation.
The brown triple-decker had been condemned last week by the city's Inspectional Services Department, which deemed the home to be unfit for human habitation, Burns said.
Campbell had recently repaired the roof, a neighbor said.
"The city closed it down the other day," said the neighbor, who gave his name only as Tony. "He was trying to get it back up to code. He got the permits. You can see the new roof he did last week."
Campbell had refused the city's offer of help finding temporary housing, pending the completion of repairs to the home, Burns said. Campbell was believed to have been living in the shed outside.
"It's a shame," Tony said. "What a way to go . . . in your own yard."

The great poet of liberty, in "Feelings of a Republican on the Fall of Bonaparte", still has contemporary relevance — for Saddam, and perhaps for others:
I hated thee, fallen Tyrant! I did groan,
To think that a most unambitious slave,
Like thou, should dance and revel on the grave
Of Liberty. Thou mightst have built thy throne
Where it had stood even now: thou didst prefer
A frail and bloody pomp, which Time has swept
In fragments towards oblivion. Massacre,
For this, I prayed, would on thy sleep have crept,
Treason and Slavery, Rapine, Fear, and Lust,
And stifled thee their minister. I know
Too late, since thou and France are in the dust,
That Virtue owns a more eternal foe
Than Force or Fraud: old Custom, legal Crime,
And bloody Faith, and foulest birth of Time.

Ed Kashi - In The Thick Of It All
Amidst a revolution in the fundamental nature of photojournalism, Ed Kashi stands as the quintessential next-generation storyteller
Touching again upon the theme of ownership, Kashi explains, "Every night when I download in the field, I can write excellent captions. I can capture the nuance and the detail of the information that's fresh in my head. I couldn't do that in analog. I could take copious notes in the past, but how was I going to get all of that on a three-line slide label? That didn't prove effective when distributing my work. Now, I can write a 500-word caption, if applicable, or a three-word caption through my control of the metadata and keywords, which I find incredible."
In 2002, Kashi realized that digital cameras and the associated technologies would dramatically shift the way he would acquire and distribute his images and, therefore, he could tell stories in new and exciting ways.
Recalls Kashi, "I had an epiphany about digital in 2002, when I participated in A Day in the Life of Africa, when I chose to go to Somalia. It was the first Day in the Life project we had to shoot in digital, and we were working with big, bulky Olympus cameras. At the time, I didn't know what I was doing with digital and was turned off by it. But later on, I had this epiphany in the streets of Somalia. I thought, 'Wait, now I get it!' This is what it must have been like in the 1930s for Cartier-Bresson, Lartigue and Kertész when they could suddenly walk the streets of Paris with this little Leica camera and plastic roll film. They were no longer stuck to a 4x5 Graflex, taking one sheet of film at a time. What a revolution that was for them! And you see the work they created, work that at the time had never been seen before: street photography. This kind of photography was more fluid and serendipitous. From it came the 'decisive moment' that we associate with Cartier-Bresson.
"That's when I realized that we're sitting in a moment that's far more powerful than that revolution was for those guys because now I not only can do all of the things I've already mentioned in terms of control over my work in postproduction and increased control of authorship, but in an instant I can have it distributed all over the world."
In addition, shooting with film implies that one must scan all of it to data in order to work with it. Says Kashi, "I also wanted to get away from film when I realized that I had to scan a huge library of negatives and slides. It takes a tremendous amount of time and expense to digitize the old analog media. Of course, I must still see to it that over time my legacy work, most of which is on film, gets digitized."
Regardless of the tools by which Kashi or any other photojournalist acquires his or her images, there's an underlying element of craftsmanship. "The digital revolution has brought the darkroom back into my life because, for close to a decade, I never had time to use the darkroom," says Kashi. "I always took my work to the lab or my master printer for my black-and-white work. Now, we do it all in-house. I have an Epson 7600 that we can use for large archival printing. Being able to do all of that—having that darkroom back in my life—is a very fulfilling aspect of this change."
To avoid the trap of software and new technology sucking the time out of the day, Kashi does his best to keep things simple. "Photography is a world of variables," he says. "I've always been a believer that the way for me to be most effective is to reduce the variables to the smallest number so that I can focus most of my energy, my heart, my soul, my vision and my brain on the subject, on making images, and on telling stories. So, for me right now, I could go on making images forever with iView MediaPro and Photoshop on the Mac platform and my Canon EOS 5D. It has reached a level of quality and efficiency that's ideal for me. Sure, it could be made better, but for now, for me, it's great. But the reality is that I know I can't do that. The technology will change and I'll once again have to change with it."
The Next Project
The world in which we live is changing in many dramatic ways. If Ed Kashi could, he'd cover it all. As to current and future projects, he recently has begun working with National Geographic to undertake a multimedia project on India. He also has been to Iraq six times and worked in the Middle East for over 16 years. But balancing current and future projects while maintaining his family life is challenging.
"I'm deeply concerned about what's happening in the U.S. and the world," says Kashi. "I often struggle with the fact that there are so many issues I'd like to tackle, but I can't do them all. Therefore, I try to focus my energy and attention to a smaller number of topics for now and make sure they're more fully fleshed out and in depth in coverage. At the end of the day, this work will be more powerful and meaningful. And there are so many issues to attack, but I'm just one person, and I also have to be a husband and a father, and I have a family that I'm deeply committed to, so it's a tough juggling act."

MVRHS principal Stephen Nixon resigns
Superintendent James Weiss last week granted Mr. Nixon a leave of absence for health reasons. A letter to parents announced his resignation.
Updated 5:25 pm, Monday, April 28, 2014.
In a letter to parents sent Monday afternoon, Martha's Vineyard Public Schools (MVPS) Superintendent James Weiss announced that Stephen Nixon, principal of the Martha's Vineyard Regional High School (MVRHS) for the past six years, had submitted his resignation effective at the end of the current school year.
Mr. Weiss also announced he had granted Mr. Nixon a leave of absence. "I know I speak for everyone when I wish Steve the best," Mr. Weiss said.
In response to an inquiry last week from The Times about the status of Mr. Nixon, Mr. Weiss said Mr. Nixon, 57, had requested a leave of absence for health reasons. Mr. Weiss said he granted that request. Last week Mr. Weiss said there was no time period specified.
In his letter to parents dated April 28, Mr. Weiss said he has appointed Assistant Superintendent Matthew D'Andrea as acting principal. "Over the next few weeks, we will begin the process to select a new high school principal," he said.
The news arrived at the same time that students returned from a one-week spring vacation break.
"Steve has been principal for almost six years, and on the staff for 16, as a teacher, assistant principal, and principal," Mr. Weiss told The Times in a phone conversation Monday. "Certainly he's had a good career at the high school."
Mr. Weiss said he would present Mr. Nixon's letter of resignation at a meeting of the MVRHS school committee on May 5. Over the next few weeks, he said he would begin the process to select a new principal, starting with the appointment of a search committee.
"We will be contacting the NAACP and the Tribe, and the committee will involve students, staff, community members, and school committee members, as well," Mr. Weiss said. "I'll be working out the details."
Wonderful years
In an email to The Times late Monday, Mr. Nixon said he asked Mr. Weiss for a medical leave for the remainder of the school year, based on his doctor's advice.
"The health issues are something I have been dealing with throughout this school year," Mr. Nixon said. "While I was out we had some conversations as a family to decide what was best for us in the long run. Based on our decision we decided it was best at this point in time to resign."
Mr. Nixon provided The Times with a copy of his resignation letter.
"After spending 16 wonderful years at Martha's Vineyard Regional High School I realize that I have accomplished many of the goals I set out to tackle when I moved into administration. We have an in-house alternative program, a Therapeutic Support Program, some of the highest test scores in school history, a Freshman year that totally changes our perspective on the transition year, and the introduction of a new nursing program to name a few.
"Recently our family has looked at a lot of opportunities that have presented themselves to us, most being off-Island, and we feel the time is right for us to take advantage of these, as we look to the final years of our professional careers. So, it is with great sadness, and yet a feeling of excitement, that I would like to announce my resignation as Principal of Martha's Vineyard Regional High School effective June 30, 2014.
"It has been an honor to work with some of the greatest teachers and administrators in education. It has been a privilege to work with so many dedicated, parents, community members, and town governments. Most of all it has been life changing working with the greatest students anywhere.
"I wish you all well and our family will always have fond memories of you and you will be greatly missed."
Mr. D'Andrea takes over
Mr. D'Andrea, a former elementary school principal in Mattapoisett, was named the new assistant superintendent of curriculum and instruction for the MVPS in August 2013 and joined the Vineyard school system that fall. He filled a position left vacant by the resignation of Laurie Halt.
Mr. D'Andrea has a doctorate in policy and law from Northeastern University and a master's degree in elementary education. He is state certified as a superintendent/assistant superintendent, principal/assistant principal, and teacher.
At the time Mr. Weiss announced the selection of Mr. D'Andrea, he commented on what made Mr. D'Andrea stand out from the other candidates. "I would say two things were really important," Mr. Weiss said. "I think he brings strong interpersonal skills to the job, and he's got some good experience in terms of working with curriculum and working with teachers."
Successful in life
Stephen Nixon was named principal of MVRHS in February 2008. He took the reins from Principal Margaret (Peg) Regan on July 1.
Mr. Nixon had served as the regional high school's assistant principal since 2004, and he had been on the faculty since 1998. He emerged as the only local candidate among four finalists chosen by a high school principal search committee from a field of 12.
In making the appointment, Mr. Weiss cited Mr. Nixon's knowledge of the Island and his experience.
In the final stages of the principal search process, 65 Island teachers endorsed Mr. Nixon as their choice for their next principal.
At the time, Mr. Nixon said his goal "is not just to make our young people successful in school, but to make them successful in life. And so we're going to look at what it takes in this day and age to get them prepared for what's ahead for them so we've given them everything possible to be successful."
Mr. Nixon earned his bachelor's and master's degrees in history from Montclair State University in New Jersey, where he grew up. After receiving his bachelor's degree, Mr. Nixon became a high school history teacher, taking night classes to earn his master's degree.
He began working as a history teacher at MVRHS after he and his wife, Maryellen (Talon), moved to the Vineyard in 1998. Between 2002 and 2004, Mr. Nixon took his first administrative position as the interim dean of students, and he was appointed assistant principal in 2004.
While working as assistant principal, Mr. Nixon pursued his doctorate degree in educational leadership online at the University of Sarasota in Florida. It took him several years to achieve his goal, because he first had to complete coursework in residence at the university on weekends and during school vacations before his acceptance into the doctoral program. He successfully defended his Ph.D. dissertation at the university in 2009.
*Dr. Nixon
Heard he had an affair with a married staff member. A shame.
We say once again Dr Nixon a great many of us still strongly support your decision when 10 radical graduating seniors who were Brazilian Demanded to wear scarves in their native country's colors over their graduation gowns and you denied their request citing school policy, but was later overruled by the school committee. You were correct!!!!
Please pardon my honestly… We basically moved off island due to his inability to perform as a Principal. To dodge the bullying. His ability as well as the administrations ability to cover up the bullying that truly happens at MVRHS has been stellar. My daughter sat down with Dr. Nixon to request to partake in an internship which she set up (she was an honor student at the high school)… He couldn't even look up to address her. The guidance counselor was shocked! Please explain to me how children can respect a principal that doesn't respect those willing to excel in life. I could write a book on the mis-management of MVRHS. Sadly enough… a friend/on island lawyer asked me if I wanted to sue the schools administration. My response… I simply don't have the time/energy to do so… As long as my children have moved on and are healthy in other school environments I am pleased… yet, the amount of money we have spent leaving the island to keep our children healthy and happy has been an expense we cannot re-coop. Anyone would be a better fit for MVRHS than Dr. Nixon!!!!
I am confused. According to this article Nixon is on paid medical leave for the remainder of the school year and at the same time Nixon states" Recently our family has looked at a lot of opportunities that have presented themselves to us, most being off-Island, and we feel the time is right for us to take advantage of these, as we look to the final years of our professional careers. " Are we paying him to look for another job? Something doesn't add up here.
You are very insightful. More will not add up as the onion is peeled back. Many parents are feeling there is more to this.
There always is. The goings-on of school related matters such as these are cloaked in secrecy and deception and camouflaged as "contractual confidentiality."
we're paying him regardless. We're paying him if he looks for a job or sings in a bar. Who cares? He's gone. His contract I am sure calls for it. Who cares what he did, how he did it, with whom he did it and how long he did it. He's gone and we should be moving on.
What he did, how he did it… Do I detect from your comment, as I believe, there might be more to Nixon moving on than "health" reasons? As far as who cares? … I do. We can handle the truth! There might be a "TEACHABLE MOMENT" here.
The lesson plan would be this: zip it up.
lifemv. You need to get a life. I agree with tcoach. You infer to much and have nothing to offer except drama. Moving on for you is impossible so I won't comment to you beyond this. You live through others misfortune and thrive on stepping on people when down, nothing I want my life to be on mv. Teachable moment is to respect people in life.
I wish you the best Dr. Nixon.
Donald, as taxpayers we are Nixon's true employer and we should know the circumstances of his employment considering we pay the salary. I don't know you or teachcoach, but I would say that there are some mixed messages stemming from the article and as it regards a public position, it is our right and duty to ask for clarification and highlight the oddities so they can be professionally addressed. I also note that you discuss teachable moments and respect in your comment, as an unbiased reader, I see no respect to teachcoach's exercise of his first amendment rights and perhaps this disrespect and needless vitrol from you is a teachable moment. Thank you teachcoach for reminding us of the muckrakers and of Ray Bradbury who wrote something to the effect of the most dangerous threat to civilization is the slow, unmoving heard of the majority. Glad to see that someone has individualistic thought enough to ask questions!
unbiased is a joke. You are just like the others and want drama. It's really non of your business, especially if it's medical. HiPPA gives the employee the rights and not the "taxpayer true employer".
You detected wrong from my comment. Life is to short to worry about this. You care? I believe all the answers to your questions have been answered in the letters from Dr. N and from J Weiss. You can't handle anything but speculation.
Let's try to add this up: What do Kriner Cash, Leo Frame and Steven Nixon have in common – other than having collected a million plus taxpayer dollars during their collective employs?
Steve, don't let the door hit you on the way out! Maybe we'll get someone with more understanding and compassion than Dr Nixon has shown for our children. Hopefully the draconian rule at the Regional High School is over. Its high time for the superintendent to follow him out the door as well. We can use some new leadership in the MV school system. Sweep it clean and start over.
I also feel the superintendent should pack his bags as well . And stop hiding behind that s*** eating grin. He knows of the many issues going on in the school system . And he just wants to make everything look like its so perfect . And many things have been swept under the carpet . These are our children. Do what's right to help the children . And do not just worry about your image.
Here comes another witch hunt by all the conspiracy theorists.
Steve I would like to say "thank you" for implementing programs like the freshman academy and the alternative education program. What you lacked in warm and fuzzies you more than made up for in insightful, thoughtful, and helpful feedback to the staff. You were appreciated.

David Suzuki: Lake Huron is no place for a nuclear waste dump
Is dilution really the solution to pollution—especially when it's nuclear waste that can stay radioactive for 100,000 years? A four-member expert group told a federal joint review panel it is.
The panel is examining an Ontario Power Generation proposal to bury low- and intermediate-level nuclear waste from the Darlington, Pickering and Bruce nuclear plants in limestone at the Bruce site in Kincardine, beside Lake Huron. According to the Toronto Star, the experts reported that 1,000 cubic metres of contaminated water could leak from the site, although it's "highly improbable." But even if it did leak, they argued, the amount is small compared to Lake Huron's water volume and the quantity of rain that falls into it.
If the materials were instead buried in Canadian Shield granite, any leaking waste would be diluted by active streams and marshes, the experts claimed: "Hence, the volumes of the bodies of water available for dilution at the surface are either immense (Great Lakes) or actively flowing…so the dilution capacity is significant."
Others aren't convinced. The Stop the Great Lakes Nuclear Dump group has more than 62,000 signatures on a petition opposing the dump. Many communities around the Great Lakes, home to 40-million people, have passed resolutions against the project, including Canadian cities Toronto, Mississauga, Hamilton, Niagara Falls, Kingston, Thunder Bay, Sault Ste. Marie, Windsor, and more, and local governments in the states of Michigan, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Minnesota, Wisconsin, New York and Ohio. The United Tribes of Michigan, representing 12 First Nations, is also opposed.
Michigan's Senate recently adopted resolutions to urge President Barack Obama, Secretary of State John Kerry and U.S. Congress to intervene, and for the International Joint Commission, the Great Lakes Commission and all Great Lakes States and Ontario and Quebec to get involved.
According to Stop the Great Lakes Nuclear Dump, burying such highly toxic wastes in limestone next to 21 per cent of the world's fresh water "defies common sense." The group's website notes, "There are no precedents anywhere in the world for burying radioactive nuclear waste in limestone. The repository must function to safely contain the nuclear wastes for over 100,000 years. No scientist or geologist can provide a 100,000 year guarantee." The Great Lakes are only 12,000 years old!
On top of that, retired Ontario Power Generation research scientist and chemist Frank R. Greening wrote to the review panel stating that OPG has "seriously underestimated, sometimes by factors of more than 100" the radioactivity of material to be buried.
Greening says the company acknowledged his criticism but downplayed its seriousness, which he believes raises doubts about the credibility of OPG's research justifying the project. "Their response has been, 'Oops we made a mistake but it isn't a problem' and that really bothers me as a scientist," he told Kincardine News. "It is rationalizing after the fact."
According to the newspaper, "a radiation leak at a nuclear waste site in New Mexico — cited by OPG as an example of a successful facility — is further fuelling criticism of the project." In February, radiation was detected in vaults and in the air a kilometre from the U.S. Department of Energy's Waste Isolation Pilot Plant near Carlsbad, where radioactive materials from the nuclear weapons program are stored. The facility, the world's only deep geologic repository, had only been in use for 15 years and is closed for now. The cause of the leak isn't yet known.
Those and other factors led the joint review panel to re-open hearings beginning September 9. They initially ended October 30, 2013. A federal cabinet decision is expected sometime next year.
This "out of sight, out of mind" mentality must end. We can't continue to dump garbage into the oceans, waterways and air or bury it in the ground and hope it will disappear. If we can't find better ways to use or at least reduce waste products, we must stop producing them.
In the meantime, this project must be halted. The Great Lakes are already threatened by pollution, agricultural runoff, invasive species, climate change and more. We can't afford to add the risk of radioactive contamination to one of the world's largest sources of fresh water.
Dr Suzuki seems to be bemoaning the possibility of disposing of wastes near large bodies of water, but in fact this may not be as crazy as it seems. If concentrations are kept low enough, then the resultant health effects will be minimal. After all, we have evolved with radiation in our environment.
All waste repositories, be they for municipal wastes, hazardous wastes, or radioactive wastes, necessarily leak. It is a simple fact that there is no designing a leak-proof repository. Nature will have her way with any such attempt. The goal, therefore, is to design such a site in concert with natural forces, and understand their effects. This influences the design, and the introduction of radioactive materials into the environment can be controlled to keep it at such a low level as to not be a concern. And it is important to point out that such low levels do exist. We live with them every day.
In short, a radioactive waste repository that leaks slowly into a large sink, taking advantage of huge dilution factors, actually makes sense. And as a physicist, Dr Suzuki should understand this.
Tauxe's comment that "After all, we have evolved with radiation in our environment." is laughable coming from a scientist. The fact that existing humans evolved in the context of background radiation levels says nothing about whether we will be able to survive as those levels increase due to our concentration and disposal of radioactive materials. An increase in radiation levels may cause the evolution of species more resistant to such levels, but that won't do existing humans much good and whatever species evolve to deal with raised levels of radiation may not even be human at all.
Tauxe also ignores the effect of bioaccumulation. Even a little increase in radioactive elements in our fresh water sources will accumulate through the food chain.
If you can't deal with toxic waste (of any description) except by storing it long term then you have to spend whatever the cost to contain it in casks made of the most impervious materials known to science. It's up to governments to make sure this is done. This is what we elect them for and pay them to do. If they can't force industry to do and spend what is necessary then our so called democracy is exposed as a sham which I'm sure will surprise very few. How does this happen, you ask? Look no further than mass media..the purveyors of lies and the tool of the corporate agenda masquerading as news and information
Also: terrestrial background radiation is not safe or benign...it is very harmful to human health... Just one example: Radon222, a decay product of uranium238 via radium226, is the leading cause of lung cancer in Canada after tobacco smoking - 16%. It is the cause of approximately 3,200 deaths in this country annually. Polonium210, a decay product of radon222 is believed now to be the main cancer-causing agent in tobacco. It gets in the leaves through the phosphate fertilizer which is used. Polonium acts in a synergistic way with dangerous chemical additives in the product to cause cancers.
"Natural" uranium (and its dust) is also known to be highly carcinogenic and to cause deadly respiratory and other diseases, because of uranium's radioactivity and its actions as a heavy metal.
However, the topic at hand is not natural background radiation but man-made radiation - over 200 fission & activation products (cesium137, strontium90, plutonium239, etc.) which do not normally exist in the earth's biosphere. The human organism has no long-term experience with these very toxic carcinogenic, mutagenic, and teratogenic substances , many with extraordinarily long half lives.
It is only since the dawn of the "Atomic Age" in 1945 - with fallout from thousands of nuclear weapons tests and then emissions from nuclear power plants - that science has had to address how to contain and manage these hazardous fission products. Unfortunately, as this debate illustrates, there has not been much progress to date.
no environmental or economic arguement will win out over Canada's committment to its military cooperation with the USA on the tritium supply issue. The tritum export issue should be fact checked but if I remember, tritium supply from Ontario to the USA is a highly sensitive subject but needs greater focus because in a sense, Ontarians are bearing most of the ecological costs related to ongoing supply of tritium to the US Dept of Energy for nuclear weapons tritium replenishment program.

Hypnosis: What it is and Why it is Effective
The American Health Magazine conducted a study and found the following results:
93% recovery after 6 sessions — Hypnotherapy
72% recovery after 22 sessions — Behavior Therapy
38% recovery after 600 sessions — Psychoanalysis
Hypnosis is a focused state of awareness, similar to meditation, that encourages a relaxed brain wave state, making you naturally more suggestible. It can also be thought of as a method of communicating with your subconscious in a way that works to transform old habits and behaviors and to generate new, beneficial behaviors. Research demonstrates that over 90% of our behaviors are subconscious. Very often our behaviors are a result of beliefs and emotions stored in our subconscious mind, and these behaviors are reinforced through a negative self-dialogue. Through hypnosis you can program a positive inner dialogue, allowing you to transform these patterns and limiting beliefs so that they are aligned with reaching your full potential. Hypnosis makes it easier and faster to release and let go of these subconscious belief systems and emotions that drive our behaviors.
Because you are more suggestible while in hypnosis, positive suggestions are able to sink deeply into your subconscious mind much more quickly and strongly than when you are in a waking state and informed by a resistant critical mind. And rest assured, only suggestions you want to hear will work, hypnotherapy is not stage hypnosis. All research has demonstrated that while in the hypnotic state, you cannot be made to do anything against your will. The Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience has successfully demonstrated that a suggestion given in a hypnotic state, even one time, can have the same effect as long-term conditioning and practice.
The National Guild of Hypnotists requires its members to conform to the following ethical principles, and shall hold members accountable for any departure from these principles, which may include revocation of membership.
A. Client Welfare: Members shall make the physical and mental well-being of each client a prime consideration.

D. Advertising: Members shall be truthful in their advertising.
E. Credentials: Members shall always be honest about the nature of their titles and degrees when referring to them to the general public, the media, and within the confines of our profession.
F. Complementary Practice: Members shall neither diagnose, treat nor prescribe for clients regarding issues related to medical or mental health conditions. Members shall work with clients only with the intent to enhance the client's own natural restorative and coping abilities, and will make no therapeutic claims.
G. Reasonable Practice: Members shall withhold non-referred hypnotic services if a client's behavior, appearance or statements would lead a reasonable person to believe that the client should be evaluated by a licensed health care professional. Members shall provide services to such clients only after evaluation and with the approval of the licensed health care professional.
H. Colleagues: Members shall treat hypnotist colleagues without public defamation.

Saturn's small, irregularly-shaped moon Epimetheus orbits against the backdrop of the planet's rings, which are nearly edge-on in this view. Some of the moon's larger geological features can be seen here. Epimetheus is 116 kilometers (72 miles) across.
The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Feb. 18, 2005, at a distance of approximately 990,000 kilometers (615,000 miles) from Epimetheus and at a Sun-Epimetheus-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 99 degrees. Resolution in the original image was 6 kilometers (4 miles) per pixel. The image has been contrast-enhanced and magnified by a factor of two to aid visibility.

In August, the Vermont Council on Rural Development was honored to serve as a partner with the Windham Foundation to facilitate their 35th Grafton Conference. On the 50-year anniversary of the foundation, they wisely chose to bring together key industry and policy leaders to address the topic: Vermonts Forest Economy: Advancing Creativity and Entrepreneurship in Value-Added Forest Products.
You can see the results of these discussions on the Windham Foundation website: www.windham-foundation.org/programs/grafton-conferences/reports.
The working forest in Vermont is no accident; it is the result of innumerable economic decisions made by generations of rural families as they make a living from the land. Their stewardship contributes so much to us all through recreation, beauty, natural habitats, clean air and water, and a creative variety of wood products, but their role as stewards, and their importance in providing an economic foundation to our working landscape, has been underappreciated.
One of the gravest dangers confronting the future of Vermonts working landscape is the threat to the economic vitality of the forest products industry. In recent decades weve seen mill closings and the loss of capacity throughout the industry. This is accompanied, unfortunately, by the breakup of forested tracks for other development: often sprawling housing units that take land permanently out of production.
Its wonderful to see the forest products economy celebrated by the Windham Foundation, and to see forward thinking about how it is innovating to support the ecology and prosperity of Vermont into the future.
It is encouraging to see a growing recognition and respect for the hardworking Vermonters who work in our forests and build their livelihood from them. In our global economy, managing our forests will mean conservation in action. Vermonters told VCRD through the Council on the Future of Vermont that they did not want the state to become a parkland for the well-to-do or an inauthentic rural Disneyland.
I believe that Vermonters are committed to a strong and ecological economy that sustains our farms and our forests in active use as their best use, and so keeps the strong working landscape vital for all it does for us as individuals and as our brand signature to attract tourism, other businesses, and residents. We all choose to live here for a reason, and the forested backdrop to our lives is part of it.
But to keep forests as forests, we will need to define and advance opportunities for businesses to build profit margins at each component part of the industry, including landowners, loggers, trucking, milling; and the rich diversity of value-added products, from furniture and buildings to bowls, toys, and works of art.
The industry and the public will need to work in greater unity: building bridges between the components of the industry, supporting profitability through the chain of production, and ensuring financial viability of good land use practices.
The partnership needs to be deeper than just the businesses in this industry. We ought to buy local (Local Wood, Local Good) but also to support the opportunities of entrepreneurs to seize global opportunities. We need to work as a team to strengthen the Vermont brand for mutual benefit. We should work as environmentalists to recognize and respect entrepreneurs and innovators who advance this economy, thereby advancing all that it contributes to all of us.
Not to be maudlin, but remember the old line, Have you thanked your farmer today? Maybe we should thank the landowner who gives us free run of his woods, the logger whose hard labor brings out the wood, the mill owner whose business is a local economic anchor, and the value added artisan who constructs beautiful Vermont products that, just like local foods, let us connect back to the land.

SAP CRM and Siebel CRM -- a side-by-side comparison
Evaluate strengths and weaknesses of SAP CRM and Siebel CRM with this side-by-side vendor comparison by CRM expert Srini Katta.
At this point, I'd say the jury is still out on how Oracle will absorb Siebel's technology and how that new functionality will play out. Right now, do you think SAP has the upper hand when it comes to CRM? What does that mean for a prospective customer?
Continue Reading This Article
Enjoy this article as well as all of our content, including E-Guides, news, tips and more.
By submitting you agree to receive email communications from TechTarget and its partners. Privacy Policy Terms of Use.
Let's look at them side by side. See the strengths and weaknesses below.
SAP CRM is stronger than Siebel in terms of tighter integration with its back-end ERP system. Tighter integration in sales, service and logistics is also an inherent strength of SAP CRM with SAP ERP. SAP has a deep knowledge of manufacturing and engineer industry verticals. In addition, SAP BW -- SAP's BI application -- integrates seamlessly with SAP ERP and SAP CRM, while comprehensive reporting is almost out-of-box as well. SAP CRM also has the obvious strength when it comes to customers who are already running an SAP shop.
SAP has not made significant in roads into the non-SAP ERP customer base. SAP CRM customers are mostly clients who have the SAP ERP installed base. SAP also has to strengthen vertical industry solutions.
Siebel CRM
Siebel CRM has the upper hand in the depth and breadth of their CRM applications. Siebel has a large install base of customers compared to SAP CRM. In addition, Siebel industry-specific applications are stronger than those by SAP CRM.
Siebel does not have a traditional ERP product. The integration costs to back-end ERP systems are very high. However, this may no longer be a factor if Siebel demonstrates seamless integration with Oracle back-end applications.

I'm not familiar with caterpillars of the Southwest, but they look like some type of budworm. There are many different types in the east, including some that decorate themselves with the flower's petals! They all make a moth. Hopefully, someone else will know which type it is. Sherry |
Thanks, Sherry. I looked it up and I'm thinking it is a grey pug moth. The markings are similar, and when I poke at it gently, it gets rigid like a twig. I was Googling it and one site mentioned that it does do that. |
if you go to" Butterflys and Moths of North America" they can identify your caterpillars for you.It is a realy neat site. |

How do I go about making a wrapper for a driver to be used on FreeBSD?
So far here is where I'm at... I found a way to make the Windows driver work under FreeBSD using NDISgen. The version of pfSense I have is using FreeBSD 8.1 as its base. So, I downloaded an old ISO for 8.1, used NDISgen, loaded the driver, and SHAZAM! the NIC works under 8.1 without any issues. I figured just moving the compiled driver over to the pfSense machine and then loading it would be a piece of cake. Not so. When I load it I get an execute error. So, something is different between the two. Still trying to figure out what though. Let me know if you have ideas where to look. |

In this study, we demonstrated that a combination therapy using suboptimal doses of HDACi and calpeptin, an inhibitor of calpain, produced synergistic type growth inhibition and reduced cancer cell motility in cancer cells. We hypothesize that the re-expression of tumor suppressor genes by demethylation and other mechanisms sensitize the cells and allows for apoptotic death.
Escherichia coli (E. coli) has been commonly used for the production of biopharmaceuticals. Among the impurities that must be monitored in biopharmaceuticals is residual host-cell DNA (HCD). This study describes the development and subsequent NDA-level validation of a real time PCR procedure developed in response to a client's need to improve the sensitivity of detection and quantification of residual E. coli HCD in their drug product.
The goal: To get novel insights into the mechanisms of prostate adenocarcinoma by leveraging next generation sequencing (NGS) data, particularly human transcriptome data, through in silico data analysis and interpretation by Ingenuity's IPA® software. CLC Genomics Workbench and CLC Genomics Server helped us assess short read RNA-Seq data.
The placenta functions not only as a conduit for nutrient and waste exchange between mother and fetus, but also as a regulator of the intrauterine environment. Recent work has identified changes in the expression of candidate genes, often through epigeneticalteration, which alter the placenta's function and impact fetal growth.
Head and neck cancer sufferers are inherently at risk of refeeding syndrome, which had a prevalence of 9.5% in our series. Our results suggest that site of tumour (but not tumour or nodal staging) is a prognostic indicator for developing refeeding syndrome.
The majority of marketed drugs are natural compounds or derivatives thereof. The compounds availability is often unclear. Therefore we have compiled a database of ~50,000 natural compounds. Starting point for in silico screenings are about 2,500 well-known, classified natural compounds or imported molecules. Possible medical applications can be detected and about three million conformers computed to account for the flexibility during usage of the 3D-superposition algorithm.
Five years ago, the NCBI Probe database (ProbeDB) was established to provide a centralized archive of molecular probes used in biomedical applications. Currently ProbeDB contains around 10 million probes of 65 types including gene silencing agents, in situ hybridization probes, and probes for variation analysis and genome mapping. Presently, ProbeDB is the largest and most extensive database of this type available in public domain.
The main objective of this sudy is to obtain an increased insight into the mechanisms of action of epigenetic carcinogens. Although the expected number of non-genotoxic carcinogens among newly registered compounds is unknown, there is a growing concern that when numbers of 2-year cancer bioassays are significantly reduced, non-genotoxic carcinogens may go undetected. Therefore there is a need for the development of alternative methods for their detection.
Accurate identification of functional vasculature is of critical importance in evaluating construct integration. Digital volumetric imaging (DVI) is an automated serial sectioning and microscopic imaging technique that can bridge the resolution gap between micro-computed tomography and conventional histology. We use DVI to study in vivo vascularization of tissue engineering constructs in a variety of settings.

Managing your bill statements can be hard enough without unwanted credit card charges popping up.
These charges are also known as "gray charges" and are usually for low dollar amounts. However, when gray charges add up they can leave a big dent in your pocket. With this in mind, WHO created this infographic to educate people on the difference between fraud and grey charges as well as common kinds of grey charges to look out for.
Unwanted credit card charges commonly appear in the form "zombie subscriptions," which are old subscriptions that don't stop charging you even after you've cancelled. Another kind are unwanted auto-renewals for services you no longer use.
The average person has a combination of 3.5 credit and debit cards in their wallet, so managing these unwanted credit card charges takes focus.

Review for: Open Kettle Rendered Leaf Lard-All Natural
from: Prairie Pride Farm of Minnesota
Leaf Lard
By: Burnie Berrey (Feb 10, 2011)
Dear Open Kettle I have tried to recreate a biscuit recipe for years now. As well as copy Grandma's fried apple pie recipe. A lot of trial and error and I've gotten close over the years, but I just couldn't duplicate Grandma, until I ordered your Leaf Lard. It makes biscuits light and flaky and the pastries for the apple pies, well there indescribable. Its like going backward 40 years sitting at Grandma's table. If any recipe you have calls shortning or oil. Substitute it with leaf lard and you will be back at Grandma's table as well.
Comments on this Review:
Dawn Hubmer says: (Feb 16, 2011)
So Glad you found the KEY! to success in baking biscuits. I grew up on the farm, using lard for everything! So, I am using our lard for everything again. I made the best french toast the other day. OMG, perfect!
Next is baking bread using my old 4-H bread recipe. My husband will be so happy and me too!

The family and I only got to spend one night in this wonderful place, but definitely plan on returning. Room was so inviting and welcoming and reminded me of my grandparents home. The breakfast was fantastic and Ms. Chloe was like a long lost relative who was so glad to see you. Would highly recommend a stay and I can't wait to go back!!

This was our first stay at a bed and breakfast and I must say it truly exceeded our expectations. We saw other guests but did not hear them in our room. The setting was serene offering opportunities to enjoy a quiet walk or sit near one of two lakes on the property. Though Big Mill is nestled in Williamston, NC (totally off our radar until this visit), it has so much to offer especially if you enjoy the outdoors. It truly was a get away from the hustle and bustle of life and into a setting that offered relaxation and solitude. Chloe was a very welcoming, gracious and awesome hostess. She even had a special sign welcoming all guests for the weekend. Really thought this was a nice touch. The room was great with it's own private entrance. Breakfast was served daily. Could not have asked for a better experience. We will definitely be returning in the near future! Thanks Chloe for making our first experience at a bed and breakfast a memorable one!

And I hope to see you again next year. thanks so much for the review.

The room was beautiful, comfortable, and clean. Breakfast was fabulous. The grounds are quiet and restive. Chloe is the best. She has great advice on things to do, where to eat, and is well respected in the community. We will be returning.

This was my first stay at a bed and breakfast and it was a fabulous weekend. My niece, sister and I had a girls' weekend here and our stay was amazing. Chloe was so friendly and accommodating. The room we stayed in was very quaint and had absolutely everything we needed. It was so peaceful and serene. In the morning we listened to the birds and at night the frogs and crickets. Staying at the Big Mill Bed and Breakfast was like going back in time to when life seemed simpler. It is a wonderful place to regain your sanity and rejuvenate your senses. I, for one, will return for another stay.

My husband and I stayed in the Mardigras Room for our 2nd honeymoon back in December 2013. What an AWESOME room! The Innkeeper was so nice and very accommodating. Loved the tour she gave us when we first arrived, both of the house and grounds. Very hospitable. We definitely plan to go back in the near future!! Highly recommend this inn for a quiet, peaceful get-a-way.

Big Mill is the best B&B! We were so delighted with our stay! My sister thinks it the best B&B we have ever stayed at in all our years of enjoying B&B's! Chloe was a perfect host and her breakfasts were wonderful yummy! We will be back soon!

thanks so much for the great review - we love having our women friends enjoy the country here at Big Mill. Hope to see you soon.

We visited Big Mill as a little escape from our busy lives - just a few days to get away. No cell phone, no laptop, no schedule. The location was beautiful and peaceful. Great places for walking and finding little treasures all around. One of our favorites was the little boat house on the lake. I love taking landscape pictures and it created a beautiful picture reflecting off the water. There were so many great views! I so loved sitting in the breezeway of the pack house just outside our door at the corn crib. The breeze and the glorious views were intoxicating. I enjoyed my Saturday morning breakfast while sitting in the breezeway watching a butterfly explore around me. The breakfast was delicious. Chloe had prepared it and left it for us the night before so that you could eat on your own schedule. So much care went into preparing these home made and locally grown breakfast items and they were delicious. The views and the peaceful feelings will stay with me for months to come. And the verse from my Bible reading that Saturday morning...."Don't you know He enjoys giving rest to those He loves?" Psalms 127:2. I can't put into words what this little "escape" did to restore my body after months of working long hard hours covering multiple positions at my workplace. As we were leaving and my husband was taking in a last view of the lake, he said "I'm still trying to figure out how to take this lake home to our farm". Needless to say we were both impressed and so thankful to Chloe and the opportunity to visit. Keep doing what you are doing Chloe - it means so much to those whose lives you touch. God Bless you and Big Mill B&B.
Réponse du propriétaire
oh, thank you so much and hearing reviews like this just inspire me to keep doing this-running a B&B on my family farm and meeting such great folks. This is truly a great life.

I had never been to Williamston before, but visited recently due to a family function. This is the most fabulous place I have ever spent two nights at. The only fault that I found while there was that I had to leave. Serene country setting, lots of grounds to walk on and enjoy the nature and beauty of the surroundings. We stayyed in two different rooms, equally as beautiful with different decor. Ms Chloe is a lovely woman, kind and considerate. She goes out of her way to make this a very romantic and intimate setting. Not your typical B&B since your comings and goings are not monitored through a main entracne into a house and you do not have to attend breakfast with others that you do not know. You have your own private entrance into your suite and Ms Chloe cooks your breakfast the day before and delivers it to you so that you can enjoy it in your own surroundings at your pace. Other B&B's could learn a lot from this wonderful lady who also provides her guests with fresh flowers daily, cut from her own garden. I plan to visit again in the near future and stay in the other two rooms as well as the airstream trailer that is on the premises. Thank you Ms Chloe for making our stay very memorable.

After one too many generic hotel rooms on a college visit tour I decided to look for a B&B as a treat - mostly for myself. The Big Mill did not disappoint. Chloe gave us a tour of the grounds before showing us to the Mardi Gras suite. We were blown away by the charm and spaciousness of the rooms. Better than the pictures can show. If you can impress a 17 year old boy then you are doing something right! We would not hesitate to stay here again and would highly recommend it to anyone traveling in the area. Be sure to try one of Chloe's homemade jams.

I have a question, maybe one of you has an answer. I have been writing books for my kids since they were little. I have often wondered about getting published. Yesterday my friend was over here and read some of my books. She and DH were really urging me to try to find a publisher. My question is HOW? I do not have the first clue what you do to get published. Any wisdom?

Fiji's Cabinet has ordered the termination of sub-contracts entered into by a new semi-autonomous airport management company as it seeks to end a long-running row over a re-organisation of the country's aviation bureaucracy.
Airports Fiji (AFL), which recently took over control of the country's airports from the Civil Aviation Authority of the Fiji Islands (CAAFI), has been ordered to terminate all services contracts secured with Strategic Air Services/Airport Management Technical Services and Fire Control Fiji.
The sub-contracts were entered into after a controversial bill was formally passed in March allowing AFL to assume control of airports at Nadi, Suva and 16 outer islands. The company is 100% owned by the Government but operates as an independent profit-making entity. It was established in the hope that Fiji's airports could eventually be privatised.
Under the Civil Aviation Reform Bill, first proposed last year, the CAAFI handed over control of the country's airports to AFL on 12 April as it switched to a purely regulatory role.
The airport management company had earlier sparked controversy by announcing its intention to cut 500 jobs in a bid to boost efficiency, causing immediate protests from airport workers who went to court to block forced redundancies.
Further controversy was caused when plans were announced for the sub-lease of portions of land at Nadi International Airport, Fiji's gateway facility. The land was requisitioned for use by the US military during the Second World War and is claimed by the local Hadrau community.
The Government, in a bid to resolve the disputes, is now planning to make landowners as well as airport employees shareholders in AFL.
It has also announced an inquiry that will investigate "allegations of improper practices in the sub-contract services which AFL had entered into", and says the contracts are to be "terminated by AFL in accordance with legal advice it has received on procedures to be followed".
"With the termination of these sub-contracts, AFL is to operate these services directly along with other services such as electrical and building maintenance, ground maintenance, and airport security services," the Government says.
"Cabinet has taken this decision, recognising the national importance of ensuring the safety and security of Civil Aviation in Fiji. This decision will also facilitate future arrangements for the landowners at Nadi airport and for airport workers to join AFL as shareholders."

Minneapolis, MN (Sports Network) - Orlando Hudson belted a two-run homer in the sixth inning and hit an RBI double during a six-run seventh, as the Minnesota Twins rallied past the Texas Rangers, 8-3, in the middle installment of a three-game set at Target Field.
J.J. Hardy and Delmon Young each knocked in two runs for the Twins, who won 2-1 in the series opener and have won three in a row. Justin Morneau drove in a run and scored once for the victors.
Carl Pavano (5-5) went seven innings in the start, allowing two runs on seven hits to snap a two-start losing streak. He also improved to 1-2 in four career starts against Texas.
"Carl kept us in the ballgame and gave us an opportunity to go out and score some runs," Young said of Pavano.
Julio Borbon had a pair of hits and drove in two runs for the Rangers, who have dropped three straight and five of six overall. Elvis Andrus went 2-for-4 with a run scored in defeat.
C.J. Wilson (3-3) gave up five runs on four hits in six-plus frames to take the loss. He also fanned three batters and walked two.
After Hudson's blast tied the game at two in the sixth, the Twins scored six more times in the seventh. Morneau walked, Michael Cuddyer doubled, and Jason Kubel walked to load the bases with nobody out.
Chris Ray came in from the bullpen to relieve Wilson. Young greeted him with a two-run double to left. Hardy followed with a two-run single. After two outs, Hudson hit a run-scoring double to right-center field. Morneau capped the scoring in the frame with an RBI base hit up the middle.
Texas got a run back in the eighth with Jesse Crain on the mound. With Andrus on first and one out, Michael Young doubled to right. Kubel's throwing error allowed Andrus to score on the play.
Brian Duensing pitched a scoreless ninth.
The Rangers got on the board with a run in the third. Justin Smoak doubled, moved to third on Max Ramirez's groundout, and crossed the plate on Borbon's infield single that deflected off Pavano. Andrus followed with a bunt single before both men moved up a base on a double steal. Young then flied out to right fielder Kubel, who gunned down a tagging Borbon at home to complete a double play.
Texas added a run in the fifth. David Murphy led off with a double and scored on Borbon's two-out single to center.
Wilson gave up just one hit through five frames before running into trouble in the sixth. Denard Span hit a two-out single to right and scored when Hudson smacked a 1-0 fastball over the left-field wall to make it 2-2.
"It was a good baseball game up until the last few innings," Murphy said. "The Twins are a great team and they definitely showed it today."
